An important part of raising kids to be writers is to make writing part of your family culture. Holidays are an excellent opportunity to do this. As a wise and nobel subscriber to the “Raising a Writer” newsletters (yes, you are amazing) ask yourself: am I including gifts that reflect our family’s writing culture?
As someone working to raise up kids to be writers, this is such an important question! Right now, you have a chance to give a gift that says, “In our family, we like writing. We’re going to have fun doing more of it this year.” Your writing gift can also say, “I believe in you as a writer. I’m always excited to read what you write next!”
With those thoughts in mind, here are a few writerly gift ideas.
We aren’t affiliates of any of these things. Consider this just friend-to-friend recs!
Writing shouldn’t feel heavy. Gifts like these help to “gamify” writing (which is exactly what you want to have happen!)
In your family, with your awesome family writing culture zipping along, writing becomes something your kids want to do.
Happy holiday gifting!
We love being part of your writing team!
